Virtual Galleries project: Tate Modern trip

Romeo and Juliet: Act 1 Scene 5 The Capulets' Party by Year 5

This was our first run through of the scene where Romeo and Juliet meet for the first time. Everyone had either a directing or acting role. The directors decided on the order of events and actions of the servants and guests.

Viewing password is the same one we used for the old school blog.

Hello!

Hello, and welcome back to school! I hope everyone had a great summer. I am very happy to be teaching in year five again. Here are just a few things I am looking forward to over the coming weeks and months of the autumn term:

- Our trip to the Tate Modern art gallery (a research trip for our Virtual Galleries IT project).

- The 'Romeo and Juliet' English and drama project.

- A visit from the very talented Young Shakespeare Company (their Macbeth performance last year was simply amazing).

- Our Primary Indoor Athletics Award Scheme.

- 'Jump' trampolining sessions with Monika.

- More members of the class gaining membership to my 'Club 144' times table collective.

- Music sessions with our super new music teacher Miss Latham.

- Building on everyone's maths skills as we delve further into maths mastery.

BBC Radio 2 500 WORDSWe have signed up to one of the most successful short story writing competitions in the world!, BBC Radio 2's 500 WORDS. Budding young writers are asked to submit a 500-word story on any topic with the six winners having their story read out on air by a celebrity! The deadline for the story is Thursday 22nd February. The link below gives some ideas to help your child get their story written over half-term. Any child that would like to enter the competition should hand their story to their teacher on Monday 19th February, the first day back after half-term, to be checked over. The children will be given the opportunity to upload their story onto the website at school before the deadline. The competition is not compulsory.

Year 3 thoroughly enjoyed their trip to Kew Gardens. They even got to explore the rainforest plants and investigate which ones could be used for food, water, shelter and medicine.

This Summer term we are learning all about plants in Science. We set up an investigation to figure out what plants need to grow tall and healthy, and we used sunflowers. We will then plant these sunflowers on the school rooftop.

Congratulations to the children who took part in the Year 3 and Year 4 Football Tournament, everybody at the Good Shepherd is very proud!

We have been investigating rocks and discovering how fossils are formed. We even made our own so we could understand the process in more detail.

We worked in groups to create a wonderful retelling of the nativity through shadow puppets, combining Religion with our new knowledge of Science!

Our assembly on Ancient Rome was a huge hit!

When we need a brain break we love to dance!

We are learning about the mystery of the Incarnation. We worked in groups to write down all the things that make Jesus both truly God and truly Human.

We are making periscopes to investigate how mirrors reflect light!

We are exploring darkness as the absence of light. We had to put our hands into a black bag and guess what the item inside was using only our sense of touch.

We have started learning about light in Science and we love it! First we had to sort pictures based on those things that provide us with a light source and those that do not...

We arrived back after our mid term break with these beautiful Roman posters to show to our classmates!

During Autumn Term 1, we have been learning about the Christian family. Here is our Autumn themed sacred table.
